Volunteering Opportunity
PDH was created on the 15th February 1999 in Lom, Togo and in 2001
opened its doors to international volunteers wishing to undertake
voluntary humanitarian work.
At the time this document was created, January 2013, PDH has already
received and worked with 142 international volunteers coming from
America, Europe and Oceania (Australia, New Zealand).
We have had all types of volunteers in the past (including two
motherdaughter pairings) from all sorts of
professions and backgrounds, covering an
age range from 18 to 67, all of whom have
fitted in equally well into the organization
and found it a profound experience.

VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCETESTIMONIALS FROM PREVIOUS VOLUNTEERS OF PDH
PDH is a small yet
incredibly worthwhile
organisation that tackles the
problems of poverty and
disease in Togo.Louise Marshall, Scotland
I was searching for a volunteerexperience where I could be out inthe field, having direct contactwith the population being servedand PDH has afforded me thisopportunity.
Molly Bartholomew, USA
I worked with people of all ages and lived with a local
family. I grew to understand the culture and even a
tiny bit of the local indigenous language, Ewe. ...I have absolute respect for all of the volunteers of PDH
and its supporters. They do amazing work. I came
away with vastly improved French and a true
understanding and passion for the humanitarian work
they carry out.
